AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes an antigen binding site for a P2X7 receptor, which is a protein involved in pain and inflammation. The antigen binding site is made up of specific sequences that are found in the framework regions of the receptor. The patent text also provides different versions of the antigen binding site that can be used to target the receptor. The technical effect of this invention is the ability to create a molecule that can specifically bind to the P2X7 receptor, which could be used as a therapeutic agent to treat pain and inflammation-related diseases.

Problems solved by technology

However, they do not bind to P2X7 receptors capable of binding ATP.
To date it has been very difficult to obtain serological reagents that bind to non functional P2X7 receptors on live cells with desirable affinity.

Identifying Dab Leads for Binding to Non Functional Receptors on Live Cells

Objective:

[0260]The experiments described here have been to find antigen binding sites that bind the E200 peptide.

Background:

[0261]Antisera that bind P2X7 have low affinity for P2X7 as expressed on live cancer cells since the conformation of the epitope target on live cancer cells differs. To identify dAb leads for high affinity binders, we first needed to identify a suitable target, knowing that good sequence diversity of binders is required in order to widen the screening of conformational space to encompass suitable lead compounds. We selected the E200 peptide as a suitable target to identify dAb leads.

Materials and Methods:

[0262]The E200 peptide was made by solid phase synthesis at Chiron Mimotopes. A range of conjugates were synthesized to identify those most likely to be useful for screening purposes. These included protein conjugates BSA, DT and ovalbumin linked to the C-terminal Cys reside on E200 pep...

Determining Activity of dAb Leads in dAb-Fc Format

Objective:

[0273]The experiments described here have been to improve affinity of antigen binding sites that bind the E200 peptide through formatting lead dabs as dAb-Fc.

Background:

[0274]Co-operative binding of the lead dabs was achieved by producing standard format dAb-Fc with human type IgG1 Fc subtype. These formats enabled more considered screening of the lead dAb clones by enabling the elimination of high affinity lead dabs for which formatting as dAb-Fc provided little benefit due to solubility issues. Favourable conformational solutions would then be selected for additional rounds of screening.

[0275]Results: The first formatted dabs PEP2-4 and PEP2-5 that had been chosen as high affinity leads from Example 1 showed little additional binding to the E200 peptide whereas PEP2-2 and others (2-47, 2-42) benefited with a typical improvement in KD of 100-1000 times. Formatting of the various leads resulted in good expression as reveale...

Determination of a Conformational Epitope for Screening dAb Leads Against

Objective:

[0277]The experiments described here have been to determine an appropriate conformational epitope for finding dAbs that bind the E200 peptide and also bind a conformational epitope.

Background:

[0278]The high affinity binders are to bind to a non functional P2X7 receptor extra cellular domain. The sequence of P2X7 is shown in SEQ ID NO:1. There are a number of possible constructs that could be developed but we had to determine which of these would model the conformational epitopes as observed on a live cancer cell. We particularly needed a target that could be bound to a solid phase for later affinity maturation experiments.

[0279]We started with ECD1 that has the structure 47-332 because this constitutes all the amino acids forming the extracellular domain between the transmembrane domains TM1 and TM2 including the putative intramembraneous segment at the C-terminus of the segment from 325-332. By inclu...
